Perfect examples are the deal on that Core 2 Quad you saw online and the deal I got for my Core 2 Duo six months ago.

Buying a comparable processor and building it yourself will always cost more. The only reason to build yourself nowadays is if you must have the absolute latest fastest pc technology and you are willing to spare no expense on doing it.
I disagree, sure you can find something around the same price, but you won't get the same quality or performance out of a "store bought" PC. Not for the same price anyway.
